Title: Venting valve for ostomy bag
Inventor: FALCONER MALCOLM IAN
IPC: A61F5/441
Filed: 1997-04-02
Abstract: A valve for an ostomy bag includes a housing (10) attached or attachable to the bag and a valve member (24), the valve member being movable out of predetermined sealing engagement with the outer wall of the housing to open a gas escape path through apertures (18) upon depression of a deformable button portion (12) of the housing. The housing may be fitted over a filter element (36), or the filter element may be contained within the housing. The housing may also include an arrangement for puncturing a hole in the bag when the valve is fitted thereto, comprising a hinged wall. The valve member uses the gas pressure inside the ostomy bag to return to its sealing position after the valve has been user activated.

Title: Hedge trimmer
Inventor: WEBSTER CRAIG DUNCAN
IPC: A01G3/053
Filed: 1997-05-23
Abstract: A hand held battery powered tool for cutting vegetation such as a hedge trimmer comprises an elongate rod 1, a battery pack 2 attachable to one end of the elongate rod 1, an electric motor 4 pivotally attached to the other end of the elongate rod 1 and which is in electrical contact with the battery pack 2 and at least one cutting blade 18 which extends from and is driven by the motor 4. The weight of the battery pack 2 at one end of the rod 1 acts to counterbalance the weight of the electrical motor 4 and the blades 18 at the other end of the rod when the cutting tool is held by a user. A support handle 3 is located in the neighbourhood of the centre of gravity of the cutting tool. The pivotal motion of the electrical motor 4 relative to the rod 1 may be controlled by a second electric motor (19).
Patent GB-971767-A (GB)
IPC: A47J31/24
Abstract: 971,767. Coffee-making machines. INVENTION & RESEARCH S.A. Nov. 13, 1961 [Nov. 14, 1960], No. 40561/61. Heading A4D. In a coffee making machine of the type in which hot water is displaced from a cylinder by a piston so as to force the water through coffee contained in a filter, the piston is moved downwardly against the action of a return spring by a compressed fluid, e.g. air, but before the piston moves the cylinder and the filter are moved axially relatively to one another so that the bottom of the cylinder enters the filter to compress the coffee. Such axial movement may also be by means of compressed fluid, or it may be by a cam action, in which case either the cylinder may be moved down into the filter or the filter may be moved up against the cylinder end. The Figures show an example worked wholly by compressed air, Fig. 1 showing the inoperative and Fig. 2 the operative coffee-making position. Fixed to the water-boiler 18 are top and bottom flanged members 3, 4, spaced by tie rods 6, in which slides a cylinder 7 by means of a fixed cap 4 at its upper end and a projection 9<SP>1</SP> of reduced diameter at its lower end, the cylinder being urged upwards to the inoperative position by compression spring 27. The cylindrical projection 9<SP>1</SP> can enter the detachable filter 21 containing ground coffee. Within the cylinder is a piston 14 urged upwardly by compression spring 15 and fixed to its crown is a cylindrical member 23 having a closed axial bore 24 communicating with upper and lower transverse bores 25, 26. In use the container 18 contains hot water which also fills the inside the cylinder 7. Compressed air is introduced at inlet 28 into space 4 above the cylinder cap 8. This forces down the cylinder assembly until its lower end 9<SP>1</SP> compresses the ground coffee in filter 21 and the parts are as in Fig. 12. Compressed air can then pass through passage 25, 24, 26 into the cylinder above the piston 14 whereupon the piston is pressed down to force water through check valve 11, orifice 12, through the ground coffee and discharge nozzles. When the compressed air is vented to atmosphere the parts return to the position shown in Fig. 1 and as the piston rises it draws in water through check valve 13 to refill the cylinder. The machine accepts fine or coarse ground coffee without affecting its timecycle. Thus if the coffee is very finely ground and packs down under pressure, so offering undue resistance to the passage therethrough of the hot water, the build up in pressure immediately above filter disc 29 causes the lower end 9<SP>1</SP> of the cylinder to lift and so allow the ground coffee to expand.

Title: Watering Apparatus
Inventor: LANGDON PETER JOSEPH
IPC: A01G27/00
Filed: 1997-08-26
Abstract: The tap 1 is provided with a tapered fitting member 2. This is pointed 3 at one end and recessed at its opposite end to receive the stepped end 5 of the tap's connector 6. For fitting to a container 11, the tap is offered up with member 2 to the wall (12, Fig.2) of the container. The tapered member is forced through the wall and the connector 6 follows it through the wall. An O-ring seal 7 on the connector 6 seals the aperture formed in the wall from leaking. Water in the container can however be drawn out through the tap. Once inside the container the tapered member 2 falls from the tap's connector 6, to allow water to enter the tap through the stepped end 5 of the connector. The tap is used to water a plant 17 preferably through a hollow plant support 14.

Patent GB-2340668-A (GB)
Title: Magnetic impulse drive
Inventor: ROONEY JOSEPH ALPHONSUS DAMIAN
IPC: H02K49/10
Filed: 1998-08-15
Abstract: This invention concerns a rotating armature in the form of a Ferris Wheel either with spokes fastened to the hub, at the end of which are fixed bi-polar magnets, which alternatively may be fixed directly to the rim in a unilateral configuration. By bringing another magnet, of either positive or negative polarity, (depending on which direction the Wheel is called to revolve) into proximity with the bi-polar magnets of the Wheel, forces are induced which initiate the revolution of the Wheel. This revolution may be controlled and terminated by the innovation of a Cutting-Arm which may be used separately, or in conjunction with a magnetic clutch mechanism. It should be noted in Figure 1 the full exploitation of this potential, but the Wheel may be energized on its own by simply bringing the cantilever (4C) near to the magnets of the Ferris Wheel and it should be noted the negative drive wheel (4B) need not have any of its magnets (4A) physically interloped with the Ferris Wheel magnet to affect rotation of the Wheel.

Patent GB-2334635-A (GB)
Title: System for locating faults and estimating fault resistance in distribution networks with tapped loads
Inventor: NOVOSEL DAMIR
IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 1997-12-31
Abstract: Both fault location and fault resistance of a fault are calculated by the present method and system. The method and system take into account the effects of fault resistance and load flow, thereby more accurately calculating fault resistance by taking into consideration the current flowing through the distribution network as well as the effect of fault impedance. A direct method calculates fault location and fault resistance directly while an iterative fashion method utilizes simpler calculations in an iterative fashion which first assumes that the phase angle of the current distribution factor D s  is zero, calculates an estimate of fault location utilizing this assumption and then iteratively calculates a new value of the phase angle # s  of the current distribution factor D s  and fault location m until a sufficiently accurate determination of fault location is ascertained. Fault resistance is then calculated based upon the calculated fault location. The techniques are equally applicable to a three-phase system once fault type is identified.
